point of view

...that's what I'm doing right now.  I have papers to write but I am so slow this morning.  I'm sitting on the awesome kitchen stool we have with my laptop on the counter beside the kettle and my towel hanging off the cupboard door, just enjoying my coffee (Dunkin Donuts Hazelnut, it was on sale...  On of the things you don't find in Ontario) It's a happy morning.  I don't exactly know why...  Perhaps some recent blessings are sinking in.  God is providing for me, I have a bit less uncertainty about the next little while, and I've enjoyed a lot of good phone conversations in the last little bit...  And some good in person conversations too =)    On a random note there are roses on the table, snipped from the bush outside.  Roses in November!  I walk past a big rosebush to get to my car, almost every day.  I love it.  This just started on my playlist so I will share it with you, it's a favorite. Speaking of ...

Yes, sometimes I spend too much time on the internet.  I'm getting better though...  But I thought I'd share a couple of the treasures I found in my squandered moments.     Love these.  There are five up in my room. Totally want to make these... YUM And these...  But I think these are a little ambitious for me So excited to find this page!  I listened to one by Mark Dever and one by Thabiti Anyabwile, and was blessed by both. Sometimes I like to look up photo galleries that make me feel like I've been traveling, just to pretend. This one is a little different.   Looking for a hefty DIY project?  Here's some inspiration. More artistic inspiration, though this is way beyond me...  But I love the ocean and I could stare at watercolors for hours. The most cheerful rendition of Rock of Ages I've ever heard! To end things off on a good note:  Classic.

...about a good pen. it should be quiet, smooth, and leave lots of ink without being blotchy. and retractable tips are better because then you don't lose your cap. and they should definitely not be blue. or red. the darker, the better it makes you want to just keep writing What do you think?  Pens or pencils?  Lined or unlined paper?  Blue ink or black ink?  What's the best pen in the world?
